In a local kickball league, the ratio of college graduates with a graduate degree to non-college graduates is 1:8, and the ratio

of college graduates without a graduate degree to non-college graduates is 2:3. If one random college graduate is picked, what is the probability that they hold a graduate degree

Answer:

3 / 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

ratio of college graduates with a graduate degree to non-college graduates = 1:8

ratio of college graduates without a graduate degree to non-college graduates is 2:3

If college graduate with a degree = A

College graduate without a degree = B

Non-college graduate = C

College graduate to non college graduate = A:C

College graduate without degree to non college graduate = B:C

A:C = 1:8 - - - (1) ; B:C = 2:3 - - - (2)

Combining the two ratios :

To do so : the proportion of non college graduate should be the same in both ratios

To do this, multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 8

A:C = 3 : 24

B:C = 16 : 24

combining both, we have :

A:B:C = 3:16:24

If one random college graduate is picked, what is the probability that they hold a graduate degree?

Total proportion of college graduate : (college graduates with degree + college graduates without degree)

A + B = (3 + 16) = 19

Proportion who hold a graduate degree = A = 3

Probability = require outcome / Total possible outcomes

Thus :

P = A / (A +B)

= 3/19

Use completing the square to solve the equation x2 - 10x = -8.
Kay [80]

Answer:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:

x^2 - 10x = -8

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8

x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33

Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8.  Here's the process for completing the square:

1.  Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:

    (1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25

2.  Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the      constant -8:    x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or     x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

3.  Match this result to one of the given possible answers.  Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Collette wanted to know if there was a difference in favorite food types among students at her large high school. She took a ran
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(29-23)²/23 + (16-23)²/23 + (19-23)²/23 + (28-23)²/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n(American) = 29

n(Chinese) = 16

n(Mexican) = 19

n(Italian) = 28

Expected value = (29 + 16 + 19 + 28) / 4

Where, 4 = sample size

Expected value, E = 23

χ² = (Observed value - Expected value)² / expected value

χ² = (29-23)²/23 + (16-23)²/23 + (19-23)²/23 + (28-23)²/23

Solve for x in the equation x2+2x+1=17
agasfer [191]

The left side can be written as a square. We can take the square root, then subtract 1.

... (x +1)² = 17

... x +1 = ±√17

... x = -1 ±√17

The area of the kite is 48cm squared what are the lengths of the diagonals
Anika [276]
We see from the attached, that kite area = product of the diagonals / 2
The diagonals could be 12 by 8 or
6 by 16 or
3 by 32, etc
It cannot be narrowed down any further.
